Well that is partially convenient.  If I have <input type=file name=myFile>
how would I obtain the actual file name, file size, content-type and the
file contents while simply using $_POST?

Actually $HTTP_*_VARS has been deprecated, although still available. The 
preferred way is to use $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, as necessary.

Sure, not a problem. Any time I need to deal with file uploads I use 
multipart/form-data, works just  the same.

>E.g.

><form method=post action=blah.php enctype=multipart/form-data>

><input type=file name=file>
>..
></form>

Just as it does any other form. For an in depth look on dealing with file 
uploads check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
